Futurist Grant

Facilitating Innovation in the Jewish Community, $1,000 at a time.

Funding for your project

Need some funding for your crazy brilliant idea? We will be award a $1,000 grant for every Future of Jewish Nonprofit Summit. It couldn’t be simpler.

Before each Summit we will award $1000 cash to a project that promotes innovation in the Jewish Community. Your idea/innovation/project can be sublime or ridiculous (or sublimely ridiculous!) as long as it meets the following criteria:

It’s awesome.

It’s got impact.

It’s going to happen soon.

Your idea is yours alone.

We don’t want a stake in it. We just want to help you make it happen.

The concept for the Futurist Grant is based on The Awesome Foundation.

What else is in it for you?

The Futurist grant winner will receive $1000 in cash, a free ticket to FOJNP as well as a travel stipend to attend the Summit. In addition, the winner will get his idea, bio and picture listed on the FOJNP site for all to see.

The winner will present their winning idea to the attendees at the next FOJNP as a “quickfire” 10 minute session. Therefore, applicants must be able to attend to the upcoming Summit.

We hope that this exposure coupled with our grant funding will help jumpstart your project.

Deadline to be considered for New York’s FOJNP is August 8, 2011.
